Reviews

"Jesse is possibly one of the best agents who has assisted me in selling my property. She is highly reliable, hard-working, remarkably efficient and also very knowledgeable. In addition to her professionalism Jesse treats her clients as she would her own family members with care, compassion and "goes the extra mile". I would highly recommend Jesse for your real-estate requirements."

-K.F. "Leo is the ultimate trustworthy professional. My siblings and I sold the family home in Vancouver last month. Leo coordinated with the four of in different locations across the country - even with me in Halifax (and a 4 hour time difference), Leo was always responsive, professional, timely, helpful and did everything to ensure that we got top dollar for the family home.Leo assisted in the oil tank survey, the online estate auction, piano removal, snooker table removal, showings, marketing and everything else. It became a running sibling conversation about long it would take Leo to respond to a text message or phone call from one of us. Leo never took more than 5 minutes to respond. In responding he always provided thoughtful and insightful answers and advice. Leo’s outstanding marketing efforts led to competing offers. When managing competing offers, Leo demonstrated a steady hand, keen judgement, outstanding professionalism and patience. I would highly recommend Leo for any real estate transaction."

-P.J. 3. "Jesse made the whole experience painless. She is very professional, knowledgeable, an excellent communicator, and easy to work with. She was always reachable by phone and email, and she has lots of good connections.

Even when she was away for her conference in a different country, she coordinated things with her colleagues, then they helped our family with viewing houses. I highly recommend Jesse. I was extremely satisfied with all her professional support."

-H.K. "We interviewed several Realtors and decided on working with Leo and we are very happy that we did! We found our dream home but had to sell our existing home at the same time. A tricky proposition in the Vancouver market. Leo managed it expertly, we ultimately closed on our purchase (we paid less than asking) and sale (we received 99.5% of asking) within two weeks of each other. Leo's market knowledge, professionalism and advice were outstanding. I truly believe we would not have pulled it off without him. In addition he was very accessible and responsive throughout the entire process.

We highly recommend Leo!" -G.T.

"Our last home sold in a week, with multiple offers and above the asking price, thanks to Jesse! Her professionalism, knowledge, honesty, and integrity are much appreciated and respected. I am a single parent and was going through a busy time at work; Jesse's resourcefulness and generosity in helping to manage the patio and home cleaning in preparation for the open house was an enormous weight off my shoulders! She is always prompt, responsive in her communication, and listens to our needs. Very pleased and looking forward to working with Jesse again in the future. Thanks so much :)" - G.R. . "We interviewed a couple of the more prestigious firms before settling on Leo. Our product was a little unique and we felt Leo's enthusiasm and approach was better suited to us. He was very enthusiastic and positive without getting our hopes out of line.

In the end, we feel we achieved 100% of what we wanted out of our sale."

-K.H. "We just recently bought an apartment with Jesse’s help. She is very professional, knowledgeable about the area, and the buildings. She was always reachable and she has lots of good connections. Overall she made the process easy and less stressful for us!"

-P.M. "When I decided to sell my place, I started to speak with a few realtors and tried to find one to help sell my first home. Right after speaking with Leo, I was impressed with his work ethic right away and decided to have Leo help sell my first home. Leo was always responsive, reliable, and with attention to detail. He did a fantastic job staging the home and sold it for a great price so that I could get my second dream home because of his hard work. It was my first time selling and trying to buy a home simultaneously. The process caused me to be a little anxious. Leo was so patient and guided me through the possible ways we could do if I didn't find the place to buy after the sale so that I could worry less. In the end, I was able to sell my home at a price over what I was hoping to sell for, and I was also able to buy my second dream home, thanks to Leo with both my selling and buying transactions. Happy Client Here!!!"

Selling Fee 7% on the first $100,000 and 2.5% on the balance of the final sales price Within that total the fee the buying and selling agent is split as so: • Selling Side = 3.745% on the first $100,000 and 1.3375% on the balance • Buyers Side = 3.255% on the first $100,000 and 1.1625% on the balance *If the buyer of your property is unrepresented by a buying Realtor you will not be charged the Buyers Side Fee. Example; If you sell a home for $1,000,000 and the buyer is unrepresented you save approximately $14,400.

This crucial first step sets a course for you, our advisor, our brokerage and our brand to work together to sell your home at the highest price within an acceptable time frame and in a stress-free manner.

Engel & Völkers charity OUR GLOBAL MISSION TO SERVE Success is a wonderful thing but sharing that success makes it even more so. A family contact of our President and CEO, Christian Völkers drew our attention to Africa and specifically to the village of Agbetiko.

We believe that our business operations are inextricably linked with a duty to act in a socially responsible way. That is why we have founded the Engel & Völkers Charity e.V. to actively support a primary school project in Togo, West Africa.

The living conditions of children living in the so called “Fourth World” leave no scope for evasion and discussion. It is not just financial inter-connectedness that poses a challenge in our age of globalization but above all social and humanitarian integration.
